Chronicles of Celestial Origins

When Tang Ning saw the two figures walking away, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and she frowned slightly.

Although Jingyuan Pavilion is small, it is well-equipped with all the internal organs. It is obvious that the forces of all parties are complicated. A mere Zhang family can find out about him so quickly through various connections.

I don’t know if Chen Liang disclosed this information to Zhang Wei. If Zhang Wei knew that he arrested Zhang Yingxue just to attract Shen Tianwen, the matter might be exposed.

He was not sure enough to convince Zhang Wei. From what he learned from previous inquiries, Zhang Wei was a resolute person who valued friendship and friendship. Even if Zhang Yingxue was threatened, he might not be able to make him give in.

In fact, he didn't want to involve the Zhang family in his heart. The reason why he captured Zhang Yingxue was just to act on orders. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the brigade. Once he had a showdown with Zhang Wei and let him know the truth, he would be forced to get involved in the matter.

If Zhang Wei refused to submit, the brigade would never let him leak the matter, and they would have to take action against the Zhang family. This was something he did not want to see, because he quite admired Zhang Wei's character.

Shen Tianwen's matter was already settled, and there was no need to involve other people. Therefore, when facing Chen Liang, he could only deny that he had kidnapped Zhang Yingxue.

…

"How's it going? What's Tangning's explanation?"

In the majestic mansion, a man with gray hair on his temples asked.

"He told us to mind our own business."

"So, he really did it?"

Chen Liang smiled coldly: "He left Pingling Mountain on the fifth day of September, and Zhang Yingxue was kidnapped on the sixth day of September. In addition, Shen Tianwen offended Tai Xuanzong, you can guess with your buttocks, who else could there be besides him, and there is no one else in the world." There are so many coincidences.”

The man saw that he looked unhappy and said, "What? You're angry there."

"Hmph, if he hadn't been concerned about his status as a disciple of Taixuan Sect, he, a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul, wouldn't even be qualified to be on an equal footing with me, yet he would have warned me so arrogantly."

"So, where is Zhang Wei, do we need to inform him about this?"

Chen Liang was silent for a while: "Let's take a look! I guess their target is Shen Tianwen, and Zhang Yingxue is just a bait. It shouldn't be specifically targeting them."

…

In Pingling Mountain, inside the cave, Chen Xiaofan walked in from the outside and bowed in salute: "Uncle, what are your orders?"

"How is Zhang Yingxue?"

"She was very cooperative. After waking up, she stayed in the disciple's cave without any movement."

"Did anyone come in or out of your cave during this period and notice Zhang Yingxue's presence?"

"No, what happened? Did the Zhang family notice this?"

"I don't know if the Zhang family has noticed it, but Chen Liang came to see me. He should have noticed it. I think someone inside the spirit mine may have leaked the news, and there is a spy from the Chen family. Of course, it is also possible that he knew it from other sources. Regarding this matter, you should go to the Guard Hall to find Gao Yuan and see how many people have been out during this period. Check carefully. "

"Yes. Uncle Master, does the Zhang family need disciples to continue to keep an eye on it?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already sent someone."

"Yes, disciple, take your leave." Chen Xiaofan turned around and left.

…

At night, the stars are densely covered, the mountains are patrolled by thousands, the Zhang family's mansion is brightly lit, and Zhang Wei is walking back and forth among the majestic palaces and rooms.

As Zhang Yingxue disappeared for longer and longer, he became more and more anxious.

Up to now, nearly half a month has passed, and there is still no clue. I don’t know who did it or what the purpose is.

If he was extorting property, he had to at least contact himself. What he was most worried about was that he would be captured by some unknown force and used as a furnace or for practicing evil arts.

If that were the case, there would be nothing we could do.

"Master, the lady's soul stone is still on." A man came in from outside and saluted.

Zhang Wei nodded slightly without any expression, and the man silently exited.

This may be the only good news. For him, since his daughter disappeared, he has used all available resources to search for her, and visited everyone who could have some connections with her.

But half a month has passed, and there is no news at all.

There are only two possibilities.

First, the perpetrator has long since flown away and is nowhere to be found. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find any clues with a large living person.

Second, there is a huge force behind all this.

While Zhang Weizheng was deep in thought, another man came in from outside and saluted, "Uncle, Shen Tianwen is here. Please see him outside."

"Invite him!"

He was not surprised that Shen Tianwen would come to visit him. In his early years, he and Shen Tianwen's father, Shen Lang, were life-and-death friends. After the two married and had children one after another, they made a marriage contract for their children.

It's a pity that he has no children, and he is unwilling to hand over the family fortune that he has worked hard to save all his life to an outsider. Shen Yingxue must take over his family business, and it is impossible for her to marry outside. As a result, the conflict between the two arose. Shen Tianwen was unwilling to get married. Since they broke up over the matter many years ago, the two have no contact with each other.

In fact, he had always liked Shen Tianwen and was satisfied with his son-in-law, but he couldn't have both.

The two children had been childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. When news of their daughter's disappearance spread, it was expected that Shen Tianwen would come to inquire after learning that she was missing.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked into the house: "Shibo."

"You're here, sit down!" Zhang Wei turned around and sighed slightly, and the two sat opposite each other: "I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that you are already a middle-stage Jindan monk. Yes, it seems that you have not neglected your practice. "

"Shibo, I heard that Yingxue is missing?"

"Yes, that's probably why you came here!"

"what is going on?"

"You are more anxious than me." Zhang Wei glanced at him and told him what happened.

After hearing this, Shen Tianwen pondered for a while and asked, "Is there any news from the Chen family?"

"No, Chen Quan came to see me a few days ago. He said a few words of comfort and mentioned you."

"Referring to me? What did they say?"

"I just said something casually, asking if your fiancée is back?"

"I understand. Don't worry, Shibo. Yingxue will be fine. I will find her."

Seeing that his words were certain, Zhang Wei asked doubtfully: "Do you know who kidnapped Yingxue?"

"If everything is correct, their real target should be me. I'm sorry for causing you such disaster."

"What did you say? What happened?"

Shen Tianwen didn't say anything more. He stood up and walked out. He paused in front of the room and said, "By the way, Shibo, I have something to trouble you again. I probably won't come back these years. My father and mother are paying tribute." I hope you can arrange it with someone.”

"Don't leave yet, explain the matter clearly, Tianwen, Tianwen."

In Pingling Mountain, inside the cave, Xu Fan entered from the outside and bowed to Tang Ning: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"You're back, what's the news?"

"Shen Tianwen showed up at the Zhang family's residence."

"Oh? He came so soon. It seems that he has been hiding in Jingyuan Pavilion."

"Yes, I am afraid that I will scare the snake and run away from him, so I don't dare to act rashly. I will come back and report to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, since he is willing to show up at Zhang's house, it must be about Zhang Yingxue. He shouldn't be far away for a while. You go first! Just leave the rest to me."

"Farewell, disciple." Xu Fan turned and left.

Tang Ning also slowly stood up and walked out. Before he could leave the cave, he saw Gu Yuanya and Gao Yuan coming towards him.

"Uncle Master, Shen Tianwen is here and wants to see you outside."

"Huh?" Tangning was slightly stunned. She was about to catch him! Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to deliver it to the door. What does this mean?

"Is he alone?"

"yes."

"Did you say anything?"

"I just said that I have something important to ask to see my uncle."

…

In the spacious and bright meeting hall, Tang Ning was sitting high, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes came in from the outside and nodded slightly: "Senior Tang."

Tang Ning took a look at the man in front of her and saw that there was no fear on his face and he was calm and unhurried. She couldn't help but secretly approve of him. He entered the enemy camp alone. His courage alone was stronger than that of many people.

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to surrender. It's really beyond my expectation. To be honest, I couldn't believe it when I heard you came."

"So, senior admitted that your department kidnapped Zhang Yingxue."

"I'm just following orders."

"The incident at Fengjian Pavilion was committed by the junior alone and has nothing to do with the Zhang family. I hope that the senior can release Zhang Yingxue. The junior is willing to follow the senior to Fengjian Pavilion to accept the crime."

"Do you know the consequences?"

"It's nothing more than death." Shen Tianwen's expression remained unchanged, as if he was just talking about trivial matters like eating and drinking.

"To be honest, I quite appreciate your courage. Since you took the initiative to surrender, in return, I promise to release Zhang Yingxue and not embarrass the Zhang family. This matter ends here. As for how my brigade will deal with you, I can't decide ”

"Can I see her?

"Okay, but before that, I have a few questions." "

"Senior, please tell me."

"I'm curious, why are you making trouble in the gambling house and attic of Huajianting?"

"Nothing but revenge."

"revenge?"

Shen Tian asked: "My brother died young and entrusted his daughter to me. She disappeared without any reason last year. After several checks, I found out that she offended Chopin, the steward of Huayuan Pavilion, and was captured and raped to death. This is a life-and-death feud. , must not repay.”

"I heard that after you made a big fuss in "Hua Yuan Pavilion" that day, you went to Tianyin Mountain Gambling House to commit murder that night. Why?"

"Zhang Qian, the steward of Tianyinshan Gambling House, is also one of the accomplices."

"But do you know that Huayuan Pavilion and Tianyin Mountain Gambling House are properties of the sect's office in Huajianting? Both Xiao Bang and Zhang Qian were monks recruited by the sect's office?"

"I know, but these are not important to me, but my nephew's revenge must be avenged, otherwise I will never be able to see my brother."

"Why did you return to Jingyuan Pavilion? Do you think you can't be found, or do you think you can't let go of Zhang Yingxue?"

Shen Tianwen said calmly: "It's both. I don't expect you to let me go easily, but if you really find out that it was me, it will definitely involve the Zhang family. This is something I don't want to see. I don't want it to be because of me." Personal matters concern them."

"I heard that you and Zhang Wei had a conflict over the marriage and have not been in contact with each other for many years. Is this true?"

"It's just a small disagreement. Zhang Shibo saved my father's life and took great care of me in the early years. This matter has nothing to do with them. It would be unkind and unjust if their family was ruined because of me."

Tangning nodded and said nothing more.

"Senior, do you have anything else to ask?"

"No."

"Then can I go see Zhang Yingxue?" Tang Ning stood up slowly, walked to him, tapped him a few times, and injected a few spiritual powers into his body, sealing his mud pill, spring, and spiritual sea. .

Shen Tianwen stood upright with an expressionless face, letting him do whatever he wanted.

"Someone's coming."

Gao Yuan came in from the outside and bowed in salute: "Uncle Master, what are your orders?"

"Take him to see Zhang Yingxue."

"Yes." Gao Yuan responded and escorted him out of the palace. When he reached the stone gate, Shen Tianwen turned around and looked at Tang Ning: "Senior, you said you would return Yingxue to the Zhang family."

"Of course, I guarantee it on my personal honor."

Shen Tianwen turned around and strode away, and only a slight sigh echoed in the empty hall.
